"I agree. Most green waste shouldn't be going to landfill and most savy gardeners are getting rid of their waste for 20 to 40 per van load which is hardly expensive. Customers are paying for the job including waste removal so don't know the costs and…"
"Hi Dixie, on the face of it yes it does seem mad to pay for green waste tipping then buy compost back. But, the yard where I tip - there is a very big yard, two 24 ton excavators, mulcher, sieve, telescopic handler, a couple of staff etc etc. All ne…"
